Crunk

Crunk is a subgenre of Southern hip hop that emerged in the early 1990s and gained mainstream success in the early to mid-2000s. It is characterized by its energetic, up-tempo beats, nightclub appeal, call-and-response chants, multilayered synthesizers, and pronounced 808 basslines. Crunk tracks typically feature a dominant groove with intricate keyboard synthesizers, crisp 808 claps, snare rolls, and thumping basslines. The term "crunk" originally referred to being excited or high on drugs and was used as a blanket term for Southern hip hop styles in the 2000s. The music is dance-oriented and often features aggressive, crowd-directed lyrics.
